Tim Smalley

An image of some snow-caked silver birches from a local nature reserve last week.

It’s that time of year where some find it difficult. Perhaps it brings back memories of a lost loved-one, a relationship that didn’t work out, money or even a situation that’s affecting you at work. It’s okay to not be okay.

I hope you have a great start to the week, but if you’re not, there’s always someone willing to listen.

@timsmalley That is a really fantastic image. Definitely makes me miss my old stomping grounds in Hertfordshire. Haven't been there in winter for over two decades.

@richardjfoster thanks Richard - wow, that's a long time to be out of county. Are you still based in the UK?

@timsmalley No, I've been based in America (specifically Florida) for the past 26 years.

I also realized it hasn't quite been as long as I thought as we did visit friends in Berkhampstead back in late 2017. For some reason I had it in my head that they were just into Bedfordshire... which of course is not the case.

@richardjfoster got you! I love it up on the Ashridge Estate, just up on the hill above Berkamstead :)

@timsmalley an absolutely stunning photo (and birch trees are my husband's favorite tree). Thank you for the special gift of your photography and I wish you a peace-filled solstice/holiday season.

@handyrandy4guy thank you for your kind words, and sorry for my late response. :)
